Random Thoughts

This was sent to me, author unknown, but I can surely relate:


I used to think I was just a regular guy, but . . .

I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobic.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.

I am older than 70 and retired, which makes me a useless old man. I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loans (its called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.
  Now, a sick old woman is calling me and my friends a basket of deplorables.

Please help me come to terms with the new me ... because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking! I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly!

Funny ... it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years!

As if all this crap wasn't enough to deal with ... I'm now afraid to go into either restroom!

Election 2016: Anybody But Hillary

Back in 2008 I said "Anybody but Hillary".

 

And look what that got us.

 

Despite THAT national disaster

I'm still saying 'anybody but Hillary'

 

 Here  are some of the reasons why:

 

Benghazi

 What difference does it make? 

You should ask the families of these men:

 damage control ex-official claims clinton allies scrubbed  benghazi docs

fact-check-clintons benghazi chapter

 

 National Security Issues

 Her Social(ist) Political Attitude
